STEEL AND VELVET: A CONDOTTIERA’S RETURN AWAKENS DANGEROUS FIRE by Isolde Voss

In the shadowed halls of Renaissance Italy, Captain Caterina Rossi returns as a hardened condottiera, her armor stained with the blood of the Italian Wars. Hired to defend the Duchy of Montefeltro from a ruthless rival, she finds herself face-to-face with the one man she swore to forget—her step-brother, Lorenzo di Montefeltro.

Refined, brilliant, and dangerously patient, Lorenzo has waited years for her return. As they navigate political treachery, brutal skirmishes, and the constant threat of betrayal, the fire they once buried ignites into something raw, possessive, and impossible to control.

She is steel—fierce, scarred, and unbreakable.  

He is velvet—elegant, strategic, and quietly devastating.  

Together, they are a collision of power, desire, and the forbidden.

In a world where reputation is everything and their secret could destroy them both, Caterina and Lorenzo must choose between duty and the one thing they were never meant to claim: each other.

Steel and Velvet is a dark, sensual historical romance filled with intense passion, political intrigue, and a love that defies every rule.
